Tesseract (2015)

About this game

In Tesseract, mighty gods fight each other playing with the Tesseract and the balance of the Universe. The Tesseract is a cosmic cube in constant evolution; it controls all that exists in the Universe, things and beings. Each part of the Tesseract is defined by one of the three cosmic colors, which represent the three different qualities of the Universe: yellow is the ascending energy, blue is the descending energy, red is the expansive energy. By manipulating the Tesseract, the gods influence the balance and the destiny of the Universe. Players try to match the Equilibrium cards with the Tesseract’s arrangement, in order to score Power points. By playing Divine Interference cards they can rearrange Tesseract’s surface. At the end of the games, the player with most Power point is the winner

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
